FINE RURAL ItoMEs.

HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES
From Yuba City to every part of the
county there are good roads, Almost every
section has a road on its four sides. There
are two large, strong, durable bridges
across Feather river, one on the road to
Marysville and the other on the
Nicolaus road. An immense amount of
money and labor have been expended on
the county roads and bridges. and with
most marked benefits to the people and
their property. 1t is not only moneved
benefit, but good roads lined with shade
trees make riding and driving a pleasure.
and send people out into the open air, and
health, contentment and happiness
results. The good roads of this county
account for the 200 buggies and carriages
which the people own aud almost daily
enjoy, and these roads account for the fact
that the landowners universally live on the
land and make beautiful homes there.

SPANISH ETIQUETTE.
How Loyal Soldier Was Punished for
Saving u Princess Life.

Saving q Princess Life.
The etiquette or rules to be observed
in royal palaces is necessary for keep
ing order at court. In Spain it was
carried to such lengths as to make
martyrs of their Kings. Here is an in
stance at which, in spite of the fatal
consequences it produced, one can not
refrain from smiling.
Philip the Third was gravely seated
by the fireside; the tire-maker of the
court had kindled so great quantity
of wood that the monarch was nearly
suffocated with heat, ard his grandeur
would not suffer him to rise from the
chair; the domestics could not presume
to enter the apartment because it was
against the etiquette. At length the
Marquis de Potat appeared, and the
King ordered him to damp the fire; but
he excused himself, alleging that he
was forbidden by the etiquette to per-
form such function, for which the
Duke d'Usseda ought to be called upon
as it was his business. The Duke was
-oiiC oat. thC hAC AZ
King endured it. rather than derogate
from his dignity. But his blood was
heated to such a degree. that an cry
sipelas of the head appeared the next
day, which, succeeded by violent
fever, carried him off in 1921. in the
twenty-fourth year of his reign.
The palace was once on fire; soldier
who knew the Kings sister was in her
apartment, and must have been con-
sumed in a few minutes by the flames,
at the risk of his life rushed in, and
brought her Highness safe out in his
arms! but the Sanish etiquette was here
wofully broken into! The loyal soldier
was brought to trial; and as it was inn
possible to deny that he had entered
her apartment, the judges condemned
him to die! The Spanish Princess, how
ever. condescended. in consideration
OF the circumstances. to pardon the sol
der. and very benevolently saved his
life.-Curiosjties of Literature, Disraeli.

LINCOLN ON QUAaRELS.
The Shields Duel the Last Personal Conflict
of the Great Illinoisan.


OF the Great Illinoisan.
This was Mr.. LincOln's last personal
quarrel. Although the rest of his life
was passed in hot and earnest debate,
he never again descended to the level
of his adversaries, who would gladly
enough have resorted to unseemly
w'rangling. In later years it became
his duty to give an official reprimand
to Il young officer who had been court
martialed for quarrel with one of his
associates The reprimand is probably
tine gentlest recorded in the annals of
penal discourses, and it shows, in few
words. the principles which ruled the
conduct of this great and peaceable
man. 1t has never before been pub
lished, and it deserves to be written in
letters Of gold ON the walls of every
gymnasium and college.
1.-The advice of II father to his son,
Beware of entrance to quarrel, but
being in, bear it that the opposed may
beware of thee: is good, but not the
best. Quarrel not at all. No man re-
solved to make the most of himself can
spare time for personal contention.
Still less can he afford to take all the
consequences. including the vitiating
Of his temper and the loss of self-con-
troll. Yield larger things to which you
can show no more than equal right;
and yield lesser ones though clearly
your own. Better give your path to
dog than be bitten by him in contest
ing for the right. Even killing the
dog would not cure the bite. MO

MATCHMAKING.


the Dxirymen Of Illinois.
Upon good milk depends the pros
perity of the dairy farmer, and that OF
millions of auxiliaries. 1t is to be
taken for granted that the farm is
adapted to the business. that the pas
turage is good-that tame hay and
other forage grows abundantly. and
good cows have been secured. In
spring and summer bountiful pasturage
furnish material from which abundance
Of milk is made. In winter the ami
mails are at the mercy of the farmer.
As he deals with them, so will the re-
turns be profitable. Indifferent or abso-
lutely improbable. Gentle handling
is at all times necessary. Between tho
secretive and the nervous systems there
is such an intimate connection that all
shocks ought to be avoided.
Raise your own cows. Keep milk
record, and select hcifers only from
your best mixers. In breeding, grade
rather than cross. Use n pure-bred
bull of your chosen breed on your ma
tive cows. The offspring will gener-
ally follow the prepoteney of the bull.
Adopt the best method of feeding with
a view to keep the greatest amount of
stock on the same land. Soiling must
of necessity become the common prac-
tice on land of high value. Land worth
more than twenty dollars per acre can
not proiitably be used wholly for past
uring. The words of Israel Boies were
almost prophetic, when seven years
ago. iii addressing this association he
forctold the abandonment of pasturing.
and the adoption of Il complete system
of soiling. His dream was partially
fulfilled before his death. Dairymen
of to-day are advancing with more
rapid strides than anticipated. One of
the essential problems in dairying is to
maintain ali even flow of good milk
to equalize irregularities of weather.
flood and drouth. summer and winter,
so that cows shall have about the same
quality and amount of food at all times.
the same or nearly the same general
temperature. and nearly the same flow
of milk. A variety of food is necessary
fodder. ensilage, early cut hay. grain,
etc. Winter dairying is now much dis
cussed. Its profits depend upon the
warmth. We quote from II. c. ADAMS,
of Wisconsin: '.In winter save feed by
keeping the cows warm. Give them
warm water in the barn.
A dairyman wants the fat in the milk
and not in the COWS ribs. Weed out
the cows that put the feed upon their
ribs rather than into the pail. Never
mind their looks, Handsome is that
handsome does"
Every thing about the dairy should
be brought down to rule. No rule of
but weights and measures. A
man who does not weigh and measure
every thing about dairy can not tell
what he is doing. 1t costs more to
make milk from old cows than from
Young ones having the same milk pro-
lucing capacity. The period of profit
able milking varies somewhat, but as
rule the best yield does not extend
beyond the tenth year. When pastur-
,gc is short give the cows extra feed.
When they once shrink, they do not |
.ome back again to their milk.-Prairie
Farmer.
